  • Patent number: 11960517
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that generate a dynamic cross-platform ask interface and utilize a cross-platform language processing model to provide platform-specific, contextually based responses to natural language digital text queries. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize machine learning models to extract registered intents from digital text queries to identify platform-specific configurations associated with the registered intents. Utilizing the platform-specific configurations, the disclosed systems can generate tailored platform-specific requests for information, as well as customized end-user search results that cause client devices to efficiently, accurately, and flexibly render platform-specific search results.

  • Patent number: 11836172
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for facilitating data visualization generation. In one implementation, dataset intent data, visual design intent data, and insight intent data determined from a user input natural language query are obtained. A set of candidate intent recommendations is generated using various combinations of the dataset intent data, visual design intent data, and insight intent data. Each of the candidate intent recommendations is incorporated into a set of visualization templates to determine eligibility of the candidate intent recommendations. For eligible candidate intent recommendations, a score associated with a corresponding visualization template is determined. Based on the scores, a candidate intent recommendation and corresponding visualizations template is selected to use as a visual recommendation for presenting a data visualization.

  • Patent number: 11803541
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting primitive-based query generation are described. A database system may receive a natural language query associated with a subset of data sets stored at the database system, determine a set of tokens included in the natural language query, and label one or more tokens of the set of tokens with one or more primitives from a set of supported primitives associated with the subset of data sets. The database system may determine a set of higher order concepts corresponding to query operations, query conditions, or both based on the one or more labeled tokens. The database system may train a neural network to learn a grammatical structure of the natural language query and generate a database query for querying the database system based on the one or more labeled tokens, the set of higher order concepts, and the neural network.

  • Patent number: 11755633
    Abstract: A computer device receives a request to search a corpus of documents for an entity, wherein the request includes a non-name identifier of the entity. The computing device identifies entries of text within the corpus of documents that reference the non-name identifier. The computing device applies natural language processing (NLP) to content associated with the identified entries within the corpus of documents, wherein the NLP identifies candidate entities associated with the non-name identifier. The computing device selects an entity from the candidate entities based, at least in part, on distances between the candidate entities and references to the non-name identifier in the identified entries. The computing device returns the selected entity to a submitter of the request.

  • Patent number: 11755619
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for copying data from a source client to a target client. It may be selected, such as by a user, whether a full copy or a partial copy of a set of source client data should be made. If a partial copy is selected, a set of file types is provided. The file types can be used to define files that should be included in, or excluded from, the copy. A data source of the source client is analyzed to determine data associated with a file type that is to be included in a copy, or is associated with a file type that is not indicated as to be excluded from the copy. The determined data is copied from the source client to the target client.

  • Patent number: 11709814
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to building an in-memory multi-level data structure useable to determine presence or absence of key ranges in files consisting of database records. In various embodiments, a computer system operates a database, including maintaining a set of records having a set of corresponding keys that are accessible in key-sorted order and generates a multi-level data structure that facilitates key range lookups against the set of records. The generating may include accessing ones of the set of keys in key-sorted order and determining, for a particular accessed key that includes a set of characters, an intermediate level within the multi-level data structure and a subset of the characters of the particular accessed key for insertion. The computer system may insert, starting at the intermediate level, information that identifies the subset of characters, with the inserting being performed without traversing any levels before the intermediate level.

  • Patent number: 11615376
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided techniques for managing functionality changes of a database platform of a service provider. The techniques facilitate implementing changes to the database platform while minimizing work flow reductions to users of the database platform. To that end, one embodiment of the present invention delays implementation of the changes for a duration of time to provide users of the database platform an opportunity to adjust behavioral interaction with the database platform. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, users may implement the functional changes to determine any adverse impact on work flow, before the functional changes become permanent. In another embodiment, the users may be afforded an opportunity to selectively enable and disable the functionality changes before the duration of time expires.

  • Patent number: 11550808
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for forecasting a storage requirement of a database management system (DBMS). The storage-related operations (e.g., create, delete, update) of the applications connected to the DBMS are monitored. The impact on the storage usage of the DBMS based on these storage-related operations performed by the applications is monitored. Furthermore, the applications are categorized into groups of applications based on the monitored storage-related operations. A mathematical model is then built to forecast the storage requirement of the DBMS based on the monitored impact on the storage usage of the DBMS by the monitored storage-related operations of the applications and the categorization of the applications. The storage requirement of the DBMS is then forecasted based on the built mathematical model. In this manner, the storage requirements of the DBMS may be accurately predicted to ensure that there is available storage thereby preventing performance degradation.

  • Patent number: 11550780
    Abstract: A process for recommending pre-constructed queries in data analytics includes writing different records to a correlation data structure correlating different data classifications of data to different queries and, subsequent to the writing, establishing a communicative connection by a data analytics application to an underlying database. Thereafter, a data model for data in the database may be constructed in the data analytics application and at least one of the different queries may be selected in the correlation data structure that correlates to the classification of the data in the data model. Finally, the selected one of the different queries may be displayed in the data analytics application to an end user so as to provide an intelligent recommendation for the addition of the selected one of the different queries without requiring the end user to alone and without assistance discover the suitability of the selected one of the different queries.
